A Conversation On Murray Hill's Proposed Storage Unit

[acme54321]

Larry('s) is old school Yankee trash.  What more do you expect?

[Captain Zissou]

Uhhh ohhhh BridgeTroll.... Looks like we've got a MoonRiver-esque situation here.  Somebody tell the Fired Up employees so they can make accounts and defend themselves.

It seems like I'm in the minority here, but I love Larry's.  When I worked on the Southside, I ate at the flagship location once a week.  I drive past 6 pizza places before I get to FU, so I have not been there, but I wish them well.

Lol... I have driven by FU... and the FU brought a teenagers smirk to my face... I certainly did not find it offensive or boycott-able...

Maybe I'm the MJ prude but there doesn't seem to be any joke to it it just says FU. The stuffed Beaver on Barrs has a comical double entendre with the fat Beaver rubbing it's belly on the sign. SB seems a bit gimmicky but hey it is Canadian.  Larry's there is no joke it just says FU. I still am not calling for a boycott I just think it looks bad and certainly reflects their opinion of Murray Hill.

I doubt anyone thinks you are a prude... and you can certainly think the FU looks bad... but the FU does NOT certainly reflect their opinion of MH...

They put it up on Murray Hill's busiest street. How could it not reflect their opinion of how Murray Hill would receive a big FU posted so prominently?

The logo is in the color Orange, which is close to Red, a color of aggression. The logo is also in a sort of gothic font, reminescent of Lovecraftian themes, which evokes feelings of dread in all residents. Some may say that the "FU" actually stands for "Fully Undressed" which is a dogwhistle for satanism, in that Satan will come to the earth and wreak havoc upon the residents (in this case, residents of Murray Hill) in a FULLY UNDRESSED state, which is clearly the intention of their sign, to warn the residents of Murray Hill of their sinister pizza-satan operation (Pizzagate, anyone?)

WAKE UP SHEEPLE! You're being indoctrinated into satanism by the insidious pizza place storefront sign! The message to the residents of Murray Hill could not be clearer. "Eff You, you will succumb to the influence of Satan, feeble Murray Hillians"

My guess is they have a high opinion of MH... that is why they placed a restaurant there.  Perhaps you could ask management what their opinion is of MH...  I doubt it is what you are certain about.

How is the pizza?  Service?

[JeffreyS]

I couldn't tell you about the pizza their marketing stopped me at the door.  I  guess I have said my opinion for me the sign is a negative. Btw I have told Larry's my opinion for whatever it's worth.

I'm sure your FU branded t-shirt is in the mail...

Another "Vision" exercise.

Meanwhile,on the other side of the railroad tracks, over yonder RAP way we note influence of former St. Johns County and Clay County Planners.

And curious inputs Tacahale,Field...... always in the shadow of attorney Diebenow.  Frantic City Council persons/candidates.

MH needs more than a furtive "FU"; $$$$$$   "Standing"

My biggest concern with the storage facility is the height. I'm concerned about it being 3 stories when the rest of the first block is one or two. I'm guessing it will be far enough back that it won't be seen. It fits in with Plymouth Street but not Edgewood so if it's contained to there I'm okay with it. I'm guessing at this point the people come to Murray Hill because they've heard of one of the restaurants or bars and not because they looked of Roosevelt while on the overpass and decided to double back and check it out. I had heard a rumor that it might have turned into a Trader Joe's which is the main reason I would not want to see the storage facility come in.

As for the previous comments about the FU Pizza I've been a couple times. I like it, the FU seems tacky but not enough to keep me away. I thought the pizza was good but kind of expensive and it's a hard sell when you can get a slice at Moon River just down the street. Their drinks are good and the main reason to go in my opinion is the happy hour, no well liquor and everything's 50%. My dad did complain about the big FU in the sign and likely will never go unless a group he's with has made that their destination.

^The Trader Joes rumor was a false one. Trader Joes isn't interested. The height of the proposed storage facility is less than the existing theater building. It will also be located far enough back from the First Block that height won't be an issue from what I can tell.

Yeah, but how's the service? I heard that the staff at Moon River were really rude to a guy and his wife one night.
